Grotti in Italian means coves, or sea inlets, but is presumably a play on the English word grotty, meaning seedy. Grotti's logo caricatures Ferrari's prancing horse. In GTA San Andreas the logo has a prancing rabbit/hare and in GTA IV the logo has a horse sitting down.

The Middle Park East dealership is possibly unique of all businesses in the GTA family in that it appears to operate on regular business hours; during daytime, the doors are unlocked and there are customers mulling about inside. At night, the doors are locked and the place is deserted. (This differs from virtually every other accessible business in the Grand Theft Auto family that are open 24 hours a day.) Occasionally a glitch will occur in which a pedestrian will become trapped inside the closed dealership at night and unable to exit.

The company name could be a nod to John Gotti, a Mafia boss of the Gambino Crime Family.
